iPhone picture by my fire fighting husband.

A very bad and depressing situation...

there is something sinister about this situation, I hope that it will normalize soon

So sad, I hope it survives! Apart from people having lost their homes or even lives, it really breaks my heart to hear of all those killed animals and I am happy for every single one that is rescued by such brave persons like your husband and all those animal carers!
I have been to Kangaroo Island in 2009 and I remember a ranger already predicting a fire catastrophy then because of the dense dry shrubbery all over the island.

Désastreux et catastrphique..Je tres sensible devant Ce genre de situation..

Impressive and so sad!!!!!!!****

This breaks my heart.

As an ex fire fighter I can go a little way in understanding what your hero husband has gone through but it should always be remembered that all the fire fighters have partners who have to share the traumas and weariness of extraordinary events like you have all just suffered.
I hope that this little bear recovers Diana.
Thank you for posting to FFF.

A tragic and moving situation.
Courage! Don't lose heart!

Thank you, Diana, for sharing this. As brutally sad as it is, it helps give voice to the apocalyptic number of animals who have lost their lives in this appalling environmental disaster. They only have us to speak for them and to try to make people see what our environmentally insensitive policies are doing to the Earth and how urgent it is that we change course.
I hope this poor koala can recover, it would give us all, as well as the brave firefighters who rescued it, a bit of hope in the face of terrible destruction.

Aw, it is terrible to see animals injured and hurting in this way, especially as it was all brought on by man. I hope your husband (one of the Aussie hero's of the day) is coping OK. Must be heart rendering to see these sights.

Keep safe. Herb

It brings home the full horror of of the fate of so many animals in the tragedy of the recent bush fires Diana. Your husband and his colleagues must have seen many similar sights but continue their efforts to defeat the fires, the world can only admires such courage.

Stay safe all, Doug

Terrible et si triste ...

It‘s a tragedy Diana...my thoughts are with you and now its the rain,

All the best...today I saw a movie of a Koala that licked up water from a

a heartbreaking image Diana!

des images terribles qui ont choqué le monde entier...je suis profondément peinée

des images terribles qui ont ému le monde entier;jesuis bouleversée

:-(((

J'en ai le coeur brisé de voir ce paysage sinistré et ce pauvre animal brûlé! Je croise les doigts pour qu'on le sauve et que la pluie vienne, abondante, pour arrêter cette affreuse et effrayante hécatombe! J'imagine la détresse dans laquelle tous les êtres vivants doivent être. Mes baisers les plus amicaux pour toi et les tiens chère Diana!

Full points to your husband for arranging the rescue of this poor koala, Diana. What a terrible time it is across so much of Australia for our environment and wildlife of all kinds! Big hugs.

C'est horrible , horrible !! J'en pleure

Delight to hear that your husband found and rescued the Koala. It is estimated that up to a billion animals have died so far due the fires plaguing Australia. So this is really sad news. Hugs to you and husband. Regards Tess

what a touching picture ...

that looks realy terrible, a remarkable picture

Such a tragedy. We have read about the extreme temperatures, the raging firestorm, the flash floods, the dust storms and the deaths of many many animals.

I've been following this disaster on our news...............and feel so sorry for those who have died or been injured and for those who have lost their homes and livelihood. Just as upsetting is the huge effect on wildlife, as demonstrated by this image.

You must be immensely proud of your husband and the amazing work he and his colleagues have been doing and continue to be so. I hope that you and yours are safe and well and continue to be so.

Take care :-)

That is just heartbreaking! =(

I have read the news "up here", and it makes one feel so helpless. Wishing that one could do something to help all those animals.

Thanks so much everyone. It is heartbreaking and difficult. So much has been destroyed; so many animals killed. Really appreciated.....Diana

So upsetting photo!

Waouw,,hope you were able to safe this koala

This is so sad ...
